Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly malignant brain tumor that has a bleak outlook despite existing treatments such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The utilization of nanoparticles for drug delivery presents a promising method by which to improve the effectiveness of treatment while reducing the harmful effects on the entire body. This review examines the application of nanoparticles in the treatment of GBM, focusing on different types of nanoparticles, including lipid-based, polymeric, metallic, and those under development. Every variety is analyzed for its distinct characteristics and therapeutic capacity. Lipid-based nanoparticles, such as liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles, enhance the…
